By bringing in experts about a certain topic from the community, students can see successful people in the field that you are teaching. The expert can be from any field and can have many talents that can be shared with many different classes.
Being a chemistry teacher, I know I will be asked "why do we need to know this?". By bringing in chemists from around the area, I can show that chemistry is important in our world other than just a grade. There are chemists who work for medical research, chemical engineering and crime labs all around the country. There are a lot of really interesting professions out there for those who want to use chemistry. This will hopefully show to my students that they can make something of the selves after conversing with a live professional.
